I got an 825 recently... its a strange vac. ill post pics. The 825 is a little odd. theres a 3 way switch on the handle. Its got low speed, high speed, and off positions. It is very streamlined... it was a big change in design from all earlier models... handle switches positions with no lever...

Wow......... I just got this Commander Model 9 a few weeks ago that was broken and really oxidized. I have finished restoring it today. I know Commander was part of Sears like a really long time ago. This vac is unbelievably clean for what it is. THE BAG IS A BRAND NEW ORIGINAL!!!! The cord is...

Sooooo... Picked up this Kirby Classic 3 with everything for 32 bucks. So the switch that prevents you from turning it on without the hose or power head? Yeah, well the switch works with the hose, but not with the power head. I don't really do much Kirby, so I don't know what I'm doing. How do I...

THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE IN SUPER MARKET sorry I made a mistake

I just picked up this Kirby Classic III a day ago. This vacuums a bit new for me, so I'm taking offers. Whoever buys it pays shipping if anyone buys it. Il add pictures soon. For an extra 50 dollars ill polish it and completely redo motor with belt and bag change aswell. Email me offers.

Do I oil or grease the bottom bearing on 541 type motors? Thanks.

Didnt see any damage to armature... Will remove grease. I didn't sand down the commutator, but only vacuumed it since the possibility of getting sand stuck is the little spaces between the copper plates is fairly high since I only have coarse sand paper. I will remove all of the grease for sure.

Everything moved find and smoothly... Still does... Everything moves freely... That top sleeve bearing did get a combination of oil and grease, but nearly no grease. Fresh carbons were installed and were worn intoa curve already those didn't change it. it really does run at a slower RPM though.

My first suction sweeper which got me into vacuums, the ever so common Hoover Model 28. Haven't used it for awhile... Anyways, not long ago, I decided to full refurb it. Greased bearing and stuff, sanded comutator and made sure there was no sand on it or dust afterwards(didn't use steel wool...

THIS IS TERRIBLE These vacuums are abominations. How do these even sell!! The dyson is a poorly constructed vacuum... I will never like modern technology... There going to put the real vac makers out of business. I dont believe it.. robovacs...

That Hoover is a DISGRACE to the Real Hoovers... Not only is that hoover a disgrace, but its also a fake hoover. Hoovers aren't hoovers anymore, TTI just uses the name. True disgrace to the name Hoover.

Tire Patch... Try a tire patch. That should work.

I Think the Electricity Should be Sent Through Hose Coil. I personally think that the electricity should be transmitted through the metal spring in the hose. I believe that slipping a cover over the hose would be slightly inconvenient.

Cordwinder needs oil. The cordwinder needs to be oiled. It most likely has rusted from the humidity of someones basement or something. It might also be that something is cought in the winder. take it apart. there should be 3 screws. You are missing attachment. missing a dusting brush...

Bissel Bissel started there business manufacturing non electric carpet sweepers in the 1900s and had a plant in the grand rapds of Michigan. They started manufacturing vacs in the 90s. There still around manufacturing cheap Chinese plastic garbage vacs.

Welcome. Welcome to Vacuumland. I also like Kirby and Hoover vacuums very much.

wow... wered you find those... I have looked for many hoovers in the last 3 years. I have not even seen those at estate sales or any other place! great finds.

I Want a HooverMobile... Wow, that looks like it'd be fun to drive. To bad I'm not old enough to have a license. If I ever find one it will be my first car and last car.

Picked up this little Hoover Dustette, inspected it and ran it. The motors fan blade is rubbing up against the housing and making a terrible noise. This motor seems loose in the housing. I need to know how I can stabilize the motor. Looks like the corks that held the motor are worn. Tryed...

Wow I Wish I Had 1 Beautiful machine. It would clean up great if it were polished and rebuilt.
